Ingredients

• 1 cup Sabudana (Tapioca Pearls)
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.25 cup Peanuts, roasted and coarsely ground
• 1 unit Potato, medium-sized, peeled and diced
• 2 unit Green chillies, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 8 unit Curry leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoon Coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the sabudana thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear. Then, soak the sabudana in 1.5 cups of water for about 2 hours or until fully absorbed and the sabudana is soft when pressed between fingers. Drain any excess water.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they start to crackle.

Step 3

Add the chopped green chillies and curry leaves to the pan and sauté for about a minute, making sure not to burn them.

Step 4

Add the diced potato to the pan. Stir occasionally and cook until the potato is tender and slightly golden, around 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the soaked sabudana, coarsely ground peanuts, salt, and sugar into the pan.

Step 6

Gently mix everything together, ensuring that the sabudana gets coated evenly with the peanut and spice mix. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sabudana turns translucent.

Step 7

Switch off the heat and add the lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Taste for seasoning and adjust the salt or lemon juice if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional coriander leaves if desired.
